I am in New Zealand. I opened a PayPal account to allow a relation in Australia to send me some money as a gift. Unfortunately they sent it as a payment which PayPal then put on hold for 21 days. I refunded the money and asked them to send again as a gift but now they keep getting the 'Cannot complete transaction- Try again later' message. I also still have a notification that as a new seller (I have no intention of selling) funds are on hold for 30 days). I think this is all linked to the initial stuff up with payment vs gift and as such is my fault, but how can I now receive the money as a gift? Thanks in advance.
